Shit i know i am planning to buy one within the next 2 years insha alaah in either Madison WI or Minneapolis MN... So as part of my research of finding an islamicly legit way to buy a house i called this Islamic Financing company in Minneapolis (or so they claimed) the guy who spoke to me was a Jordanian, i asked him about their Islamic financing plans and whatnot the dude took a good 10 minutes babbling about how their loan plans are 100% halaal and how they've been accredited by some Pakistani scholar who teaches Islamic Financing in some Pakistani college.... i asked him to cut the chase and tell me how they are going to make money off the loan they are going to give me..... well he said its not a loan, its a partnership between us. and this is how it goes down.. You choose a house which lets say cost $200K after reviewing your credit and income we will buy it for you but before you close-in the house you pay us 20% of the cost of the house and sign a partnership contract of which you will pay us back our share on a 30 years No Interest lease contract.... I was flabbergasted by how ridiculous that shit was, i mean they are basically rewording the whole Interest thing, see instead of paying $200 K + $50 K interest on a 30 year mortgage like normal banks do he's telling me they will "BUY" the house for $200K and resell it to me for $240K in a 30 year "Rental Lease" aka Mortgage until i pay off their share!!!! So what do guys know of any other Halaal ways to finance a house?

i am sorry to disappiont you lazzie but i am not going to defend the young boy's actions, i guess he is as sinful as she is, perhaps more sinful for lureing her into moving with him,, Ya all must have not read that paragraph i posted in page 1..

^^ your argument is so weak that its a complete waste of bandwith to reason with you saxib.. SomeAlien you have spoken wisely, AJ now that you are aware of at least the surface of what is going on it is up to you to take on the role of big brother. It is one thing to look at something bad and frown on it, but I think if the situation is as dire as depicted then a certain responsibility falls on your shoulders to tell the guy off and have a friendly, non lecture talks with the girl. Maybe her parents don’t know where she is. If she wants to be with the guy, assuming that they are more than “friends†then direct them into the right path of engagement. Dawaco,, when i see that guy tonight and i will talk to him about hiphop for a while before i tackle that issue... infact i was planning to do that last weekend but i got busy with work,,,, Again.. thank you for not being bias and speaking your mind...

Walaahi i found that so awfully wrong and against my nature mainly because of their young age,, i've never seen a girl that young making such bold move and live with someone she has known for only 2 weeks..... it seem like many SOL'er dont mind a "living in boyfreind" !!

a friend of mine was telling me there are some free hotspots in Xamar where you can access wireless internet just like Star Bucks!!! way to go mali's...

How is that nelly video diffrent than the Xalimo's who willingly shake their booty to the beats of Niiko songs in our weddings??? I never had a shred of respect for any xalimo who choose's to wrap a masar around her booty and wiggle it around for the mass to watch!!! how degrading..

^^^ we can always take it to Somalinet right lol

^^^^ U just want to pick a fight with me man.. dont you? too bad though, i am stepping out of charecter for today.. so go find someone else

For those who seem to have a problem with this thread let me remind you that alaah his almighty had told us stories about the previous nations (caad, Thamood, Asxaab Alkahaf, Qaum Loot...etc) to educate us on where they went wrong and guide us to the right path. Now I only narrated this story to u all to attract everyone's attention to one of the grave sins we are taking too lightly these days. My main objevtive was to derive inspiration and direction towards forbidding whats Harram and promoting whats Halal at least within our hearts if nothing else prevailed.... sadly though some nomads whom i thought were learned in diin chose to take me out of context and bogg me down with unnecessary comments...

Originally posted by SomeAlien: im not saying its right, bt did you ever think her home life was terrible to begin with, and thats why he offered her a home? i mean, you spoke to him, did he accually sound like he was getting his "girlfriend" to come over, or some girl he met online. i dont know, the fact that shes 19 and completely comfortable living with 2 strange men makes it sound, to me anyway, that she escaped something back home. of course it could be my over active imagination working again. Well if your logic is correct somalien then its ok for women to prostitute if they cant find a job to feed their kids!!! with respect to any familial problems she may have running away and living with strangers is not going to make any of that right...

well Ngone saxib this moral infidelity will spread through our communities like a plague and devour it off its values if left unstood up against and condemned... I think we also need to educate the younger generations on the Islamic principles and the sins of fornication... Either that or turn our backs to it and risk seeing one of our loved one's engaging such sinful behavior..

^^^ I know he met her online cuz he was using my PC they first ran into each other..... and i didnt accuse her of zinna.. i said they just might be playing hide and seek,,, but i am sure that word is floating around for some reason...

^^^ i am not amazed.. i am just concerned that we are taking this issue lightly..

^^^ maybe this is a slightly altered Masaafah where young men back home used to run away with girls they fell in love with and marry her somewhere 3 days away from where her father resides (probably out of his jurisdiction).... so if you ask me.. i gon tell you it may be different times but this sho smells like the same ol " hit that booty" shit..

Originally posted by LayZieGirl: hahahahahhahahahahahhaha@Mr Action Jackson, you had me cracking up there for a moment. The girl might wanna consider adoption to solve her problem incase Plan A doesn't work outfor her.(just a thought) Well yeahh.. she will get ajir for that too.. but insemination... thats so degrading and disgusting walaaahi..... i mean what you gon tell you son when he grows up? you dad jerked you off in some sperm bank!!?? or what you gon name him? that shit is against human nautre and i personaly think the docs who perform that prosedure should be nuked the f**** up..

i am sorry to disappiont you lazzie but i am not going to defend the young boy's actions, i guess he is as sinful as she is, perhaps more sinful for lureing her into moving with him,, Mr. Jackson, you have no right to expect anything from anybody, including the girl. She doesn't have to feel guilty or embarrassment, because you think she should. Maybe she is happy, thats why she isn't feeling guilty, did that ever occur to you Mr? Well i guess i am a well natured man and i expect ppl to be so unless they act otherwise.. this little girl did really look innocent enough believe she is not cabable of such thing.. so i dont think i went out of line by assuming she is a nice girl!!! Fair enuf. However, your stance is a little too judgemental. For one, they might not be having sex and for another his brother also lives with them, right? Granted two boys and a girl are a little iffy, but only God knows. Finally, who gives a shite either way? You could be right, who knows, maybe he paid for her plane tickets just so they could play hide and seek when they are home alone!!!

Well i didnt demonize women.. i said having to deal with all that hardship sucks, and honey i do respect my sisters, mom and women in general so dont lecture me on that.. looks like you are going thru your mood swings with all this cuss words u spitting.. chill out abaayo.. that was just an opinion..

Originally posted by Velvet Revolution: You're morally outraged because a young couple are living together? When Somalis' have been busy lying, cheating and murdering each other for decades? Yeah, shocking indeed. :rolleyes: well its shocking to me because i havent witnessed the murdering of the civil war.. never the less i believe that is as sinful as fornication.....

Now, besides putting ur nose in other ppls bizness, you added assumption to it. You are backbiting ppl online. and you have the nerve to talk to me about morals? well.. you asked me to define morality for you... and i dont think i backbit you at all.. Originally posted by Section6er: Jackson has just been Karl Maloned Exactly.. his attmpt to intimidate me is as old as Karl Malone.. lol

seems like unmarried couples living together is the norm on your book!! if so then i dont think i will be able to explain morality to you brah..

I guess there its cool to be a woman other than yall have to deal with PMS, mood swings, gender discrimination, menopause, heartbreak, pregnancy, labor.. ooh shit.. sorry ladies.. i guess it sucks to be a woman..
